Held since September 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £685,000 sits 121% above the 2004 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 49.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
