It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 718 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
