Held since May 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 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £447,000 sits 98.7% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 48.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
