It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
