About 16 Knighton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
At 349 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
