It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 57.9% above the 2008 sale of £278,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 123 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (147 m² median across 7 EPCs).
