Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 78.6% above the 2009 sale of £168,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 26.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
