The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 £120,000 sits 124.3% above the 1999 sale of £53,500.
