Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the size of the land is a key factor.
The energy label is D, which is average for a house built in 1919. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label. The exact running costs depend on your usage and energy prices.
