Held since June 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 sits 53.6% above the 2008 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. At 112 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
