Held since July 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 362 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £933,000 is 37.7% above the 2009 sale price.
