It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

Today's modelled estimate of £825,000 is 15.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 37.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2021. Most recent transfer: January 2021 at £715,000.
