At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year.
