Held since June 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. Sale prices here have outpaced Burnley HPI: 7.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £555,000 sits 52.1% above the 2007 sale of £365,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 46.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 212 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
