Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £519,000 sits 75.9% above the 2007 sale of £295,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
