It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2014.

It hasn't traded since August 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. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 is 29.4% above the 2007 sale price.
