The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 43.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 59.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
