Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 194 m² the property is well over the postcode median (149 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–1997, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 357.1% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£17/sq ft) was about 69.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
