The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 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 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 10 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. Today's modelled estimate of £656,000 sits 720% above the 2008 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 81.7% below the postcode norm. 14 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
