It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 sits 137% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 47.1% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 115 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 30 EPCs).
