Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 sits 121.1% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 30.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 173 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (209 m² median across 3 EPCs).
