The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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.

Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £732,000 sits 62.7% above the 2009 sale of £450,000.
