Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 92.8% above the 2008 sale of £247,900. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
