It has a recorded floor area of 183 m² (around 1970 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).
