On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 36% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
