Held since October 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 113 m² it's 29.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 92% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 36% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2012. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
