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 (95 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £690,000 sits 111% above the 2007 sale of £327,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision.
