It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £531,000 sits 315% above the 1997 sale of £127,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (155 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
