When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
