Held since October 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 79.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
