Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 60.8% above the 2009 sale of £222,050. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2021. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
