At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 341.4% above the 2000 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 62.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2014. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
