Held since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £537,000 sits 144.1% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 43.9% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 163 m² it's 22.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
