It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D.

Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since April 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 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 61.9% above the 2007 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 20.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
