Held since November 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 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 sits 55.8% above the 2009 sale of £312,000. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2009. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
