It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 90.9% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
