Held since August 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 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £94,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
