Held since November 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 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2008. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 145.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
