It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 sits 162.9% above the 2008 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
