Held since April 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 99 m² it's 15.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 67.1% above the 2007 sale of £164,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
