The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 £146,000 sits 247.6% above the 1999 sale of £42,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 57.3% below the postcode norm.
