It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G.

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 £719,000 sits 187.7% above the 1999 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
