Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £724,000 sits 291.4% above the 1998 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 59.2% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
