Held since April 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.

At 74 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 14 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
