It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 sits 113.2% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 39.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 108 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 24 EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
