Today's modelled estimate of £1,003,000 sits 377.6% above the 1999 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 60.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
