Today's modelled estimate of £3,244,000 is 18.9% below the 2021 sale of £4,000,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£480/sq ft) was about 45.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 775 m² the property is well over the postcode median (377 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 17 planning records sit against the property, 12 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
