It has a recorded floor area of 256 m² (around 2756 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
