It hasn't traded since June 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 243 m² the property is well over the postcode median (182 m² across 6 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 £576,000 sits 55.7% above the 2009 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
