Held since September 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

At 224 m² the property is well over the postcode median (137 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,568,000 sits 198.1% above the 2000 sale of £526,000.

Past consents include an extension, tree works, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
