It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Held since April 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 250 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 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 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £514,000 sits 311.2% above the 1999 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 73.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
