At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 sits 250.3% above the 2000 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 61.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
