It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B.

Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 86.3% above the 2009 sale of £161,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
