Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 76.6% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 65 m² it's 20.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 22 EPCs).
