21 Eley Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7FH). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C.

Held since February 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 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £557,000 sits 129.7% above the 2007 sale of £242,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 43.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
