Held since August 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 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £794,000 is 34% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
