It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 98.7% above the 2009 sale of £152,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 18.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
