Held since January 2008 — that's 18 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 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 54.7% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
