Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
