The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2011.

Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 76.1% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm. At 77 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
