About The Homestead

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 208 m² it's 28.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (162 m² median across 8 EPCs).
