It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
