Held since February 2008 — that's 18 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. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 17% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 39% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 28.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 108 m² it sits well below the postcode median (158 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
