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 86 m² it sits well below the postcode median (160 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 26.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
