It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (53–112 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 25 units on file.

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

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 62.9% above the 2007 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 42.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
