It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 381 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,338,000 sits 167.6% above the 2008 sale of £500,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 70.7% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
