It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
