Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 83 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 53.4% above the 2009 sale of £174,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 59.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
