It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £727,000 sits 165.3% above the 2009 sale of £274,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 19.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
