It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 90 m² this is the 70th smallest of 74 units on EPC record in The Bar, where floor areas span 44–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 74 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Main heating runs on electricity.

At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 73 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
