It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in March 2010. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (114 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
