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. At 194 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 99.5% above the 2007 sale of £183,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 22.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
