Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 284 m² the property is well over the postcode median (194 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 33.5% below the postcode norm. 14 planning records sit against the property, 11 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
