Held since June 2009 — that's 17 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. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 55.9% above the 2009 sale of £236,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 30.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
