Held since February 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 123.6% above the 2004 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 22.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2010. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
