Held since March 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.

Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £594,000 is 27.7% above the 2007 sale price.
