Held since November 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 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 65.8% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 37.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
