Held since December 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 sits 63.2% above the 2009 sale of £198,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 72.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
