Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 104.2% above the 2007 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 32.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs).
