It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2012.
