Held since May 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 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £587,000 sits 75.2% above the 2007 sale of £335,000.
