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 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £498,000 sits 107.5% above the 2007 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 46.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
