It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2021) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since.

Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £571,000 is 36.6% below the 2022 sale of £900,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 131 m² it sits well below the postcode median (215 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £900,000 in September 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
