It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and 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. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £733,000 sits 83.3% above the 2009 sale of £400,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
