The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 86.6% above the 2009 sale of £238,000.
