It has a recorded floor area of 232 m² (around 2497 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.
