Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 sits 85.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
