It has a recorded floor area of 265 m² (around 2852 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,047,000 sits 95.7% above the 2008 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009.
