At 88 m² this is the 20th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–152 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 32 units on file.

It hasn't traded since December 1997, a hold of 28 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. At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 678.9% above the 1997 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 81.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
