The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£262/sq ft) was about 124.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
