It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 20 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). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 79.3% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 44.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
