Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 117 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 8 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 is 21.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 16% below the postcode norm.
