The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.

Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

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). Today's modelled estimate of £1,023,000 sits 69.1% above the 2007 sale of £605,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
