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. At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 sits 152.6% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 35.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows, partial demolition and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
