It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 84 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (36–84 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 30 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity.
