It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2020. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 sits 331.9% above the 1996 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 68.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
