It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale.

Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 25.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 84.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2024.
