It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1655 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
