Held since August 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 22.2% above the 2007 sale price.
