It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record.

Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
