It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £492,000 sits 69.7% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 30.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 106 m² it sits well below the postcode median (207 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2024. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
