Held since May 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. Today's modelled estimate of £854,000 sits 124.7% above the 2009 sale of £380,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
