Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 42.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm.
