Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 sits 106.3% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion, a conservatory and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
