Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 338 m² the property is well over the postcode median (147 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,018,000 sits 62.9% above the 2009 sale of £625,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
