The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,221,000 sits 101% above the 2007 sale of £607,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 60.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
