It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 350 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,996,000 sits 141.9% above the 2007 sale of £825,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 53.3% below the postcode norm. 10 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension, a basement excavation and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
