It has a recorded floor area of 335 m² (around 3606 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a basement.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 335 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £864,000 sits 64.6% above the 2007 sale of £525,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 21.9% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
