It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.
