At 66 m² this is the 10th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–190 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in April 1997. 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 £159,000 sits 154.4% above the 1997 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 34.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
