Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £760,000 sits 182.5% above the 1999 sale of £269,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 40.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2008. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
