It has a recorded floor area of 754 m² (around 8116 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £5,546,000 is 42.5% below the 2016 sale of £9,650,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

Past consents include tree works, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. 10 years since the last transfer (September 2016).
