It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
