It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (42/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002.
