It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in May 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).
