Held since April 2008 — that's 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 153 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 15 EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £601,000 is 26.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
