It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 sits 60.5% above the 2009 sale of £291,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£314/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 86 m² it's 17.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 26 EPCs).
