It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good.
