It hasn't traded since August 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. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 is 48.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 69.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 73 m² it's 18.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 21 EPCs).
