Held since July 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £559,000 sits 99.6% above the 2006 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 28.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
