The room has a small central heating radiator as part of the heating distribution system serving the flat. It has three external, heat-loss walls but has been provided with a post-2002 double-glazed window of pvc-u construction. The bedroom of concern is located at the rear in the part of the construction under the flat roof. The first floor flat comprises of a lounge/kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.

The flat is on the first floor of an original end-terrace inter-war local authority house that was extended at the rear over two stories during the early 1980s.
