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. Sale prices here have outpaced Cambridge HPI: 16% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 sits 82% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£363/sq ft) was about 21.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
