It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 88.4% above the 2007 sale of £172,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm.
