It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 606 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 56 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Ash House, where floor areas span 55–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (76 versus a worst of 56). The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 33.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
