At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £650,000 in April 2021.
