Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 399 m² the property is well over the postcode median (210 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 12 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £1,999,000 is 44.9% above the 2007 sale price.
