Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 33.6% above the 2009 sale price.
