The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since January 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 is 39.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
