Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 232 m² the property is well over the postcode median (146 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2021. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 is 40.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.
