Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 566.7% above the 1996 sale of £37,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 73.2% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
