Held since August 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 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 21.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 69% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
