The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £123,000 sits 129.9% above the 1999 sale of £53,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 47.1% below the postcode norm. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
