It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E.

Today's modelled estimate of £477,000 is 13.3% below the 2023 sale of £550,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.
