Held since October 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 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (197 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 42% above the 2008 sale price. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.
