Held since February 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 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 sits 59.3% above the 2007 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 18.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
