Held since September 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 153 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £861,000 sits 95.7% above the 2009 sale of £440,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
