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 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). 8 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, tree works and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
