Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 248 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £4,696,000 sits 143.9% above the 2009 sale of £1,925,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£721/sq ft) was about 31.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
