Held since August 2008 — that's 18 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 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,256,000 is 39.6% above the 2008 sale price.
