Held since October 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 413 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £809,000 sits 97.3% above the 2007 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 42.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
