The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 21.4% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 is 46.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
