Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
