Held since April 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. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 sits 86.5% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 20.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
