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. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 77% above the 2007 sale of £248,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
