It hasn't traded since April 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 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 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). 5 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 7 is the typical count. One planning record on file: solar panel installation approved in 2012. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 is 14.1% above the 2008 sale price.
