It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 69 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom.

Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 69 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 is 40.7% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
