The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since January 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area.

The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
