Held since October 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 423 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,011,000 sits 60.5% above the 2004 sale of £630,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 46.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2024. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
