Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 42.6% above the 2009 sale price.
