Held since September 2007 — 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 292 m² the property is well over the postcode median (178 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,953,000 sits 56.2% above the 2007 sale of £1,250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£398/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 18 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
