It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since February 2009.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 57.7% above the 2008 sale of £220,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 114 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 10 EPCs).
