Held since February 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 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 85.7% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
