Held since December 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 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £445,000 sits 187.1% above the 2007 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
