Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2022); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.

Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
