Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 64.2% above the 2009 sale of £220,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 29.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 38 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
