It hasn't traded since August 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. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £498,000 sits 50.9% above the 2009 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 42.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
