It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 659 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
