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 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 15 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). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 sits 69.1% above the 2008 sale of £343,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
