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 539 m² the property is well over the postcode median (138 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,487,000 sits 74.9% above the 2009 sale of £850,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 26.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
