It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,309,000 sits 89.7% above the 2007 sale of £690,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 21.3% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 220 m² it's 19.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (184 m² median across 20 EPCs).
