Today's modelled estimate of £786,000 sits 504.6% above the 1997 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 70.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
