It has a recorded floor area of 229 m² (around 2466 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
