On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 155 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (129 m² median across 29 EPCs).

    T1 - Two Limes in front at x12ms in height. Repollard equating to a reduction of regrowth of approximately 2.5ms to leave at x9.5ms in height. The reason for works is the management of the 2 Limes which have been previously pollarded. The regrowth now requires reduction to maintain the pollarding regime and prevent limbs breaking out from pollard points.
