Held since December 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 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 25% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £891,000 sits 109.6% above the 2007 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2000.
