Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £413,000 sits 129.5% above the 2011 sale of £179,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 42.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
