It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 56 m² this is the 31st smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2011. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 35.5% below the 2007 sale of £199,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
