Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 161 m² it's 22.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (208 m² median across 7 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £714,000 sits 68.8% above the 2009 sale of £423,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
