Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 800% above the 1996 sale of £31,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 73.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
