It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 108.5% above the 2009 sale of £223,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 39.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
