Held since February 2008 — that's 18 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 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 is 42.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 43.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
