On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 29.3% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
