Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 69.7% above the 2007 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 37.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
