It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Main heating runs on oil.
At 117 m² it's 25.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 9 EPCs). Across 2004–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year.
