Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,659,000 is 31.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
