Held since November 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 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £650,000 sits 63.5% above the 2009 sale of £397,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 36.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
