It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion, a basement excavation and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
