Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 70.2% above the 2009 sale of £228,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£365/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 58 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 19 EPCs).
