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. At 201 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,130,000 sits 115.2% above the 2009 sale of £525,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
