Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 56.3% above the 2011 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
