At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 428% above the 2001 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 71.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
