It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
