It hasn't traded since October 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. At 330 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £858,000 is 41.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm.
