It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 is 17.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£291/sq ft) was about 59.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2021 for £235,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
