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: new windows approved in 2004. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 83 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 30 EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 32% above the 2008 sale price.
