About 1a

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in October 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 222 m² the property is well over the postcode median (168 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,475,000 sits 408.6% above the 1997 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 56.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
