Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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. Today's modelled estimate of £466,000 sits 102.6% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 48.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 148 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
