It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £739,000 sits 98.4% above the 2010 sale of £372,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
