Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 138.2% above the 2006 sale of £152,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 28% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
