It has a recorded floor area of 313 m² (around 3365 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
