It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2020) shows a C (score 70).

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -39.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 462.7% above the 2007 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 82.6% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² it sits well below the postcode median (198 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
