EPC, measurements & floor area: The EPC rating is D (64). We have not measured it but the EPC shows the total floor area of this flat as 51 square metres (549 square feet) - this probably does not include the workshop/studio. All room measurements shown in these details are approximate and potential tenants should check for themselves if any measurement is particularly important to them.

There is also unrestricted street parking in Perinville Road which runs behind the property and is within a minute or so's walk. There is a service road to the rear of the property which would be useful for unloading shopping etc using the rear entrance to the flat - this service road serves several other properties and is not supposed to be used for long term parking.
