It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
