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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 66.7% above the 2007 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 26% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 66 m² it's 19% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 16 EPCs).
