It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £3,708,000 sits 56.1% above the 2007 sale of £2,375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,866/sq ft) was about 1000.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (156 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
