It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 sits 105.3% above the 2007 sale of £282,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 40.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
