Held since June 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 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 63.7% above the 2007 sale of £245,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
