Held since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 sits 121.8% above the 2007 sale of £248,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 34.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
