It has a recorded floor area of 229 m² (around 2465 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 229 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 59 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
