It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 991 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 106.3% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.
