It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
