Held since May 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 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £602,000 sits 69.6% above the 2007 sale of £355,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.
