Held since May 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £614,000 sits 54.3% above the 2008 sale of £398,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 116 m² it's 29.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (165 m² median across 21 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs).
