Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 sits 77.5% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
