Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 271 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,013,000 sits 275.2% above the 1996 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 26.3% below the postcode norm. 22 planning records sit against the property, 12 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion, an annexe and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
