It hasn't traded since September 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 sits 88.9% above the 2007 sale of £207,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 90 m² it's 18.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 17 EPCs).
