Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since July 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 281 m² the property is well over the postcode median (161 m² across 3 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. 11 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £961,000 is 43.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
