Held since November 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 138 m² it's 27.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 8 EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price.
