Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 193 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £657,000 sits 105.3% above the 2008 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 58.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2013.
