Held since December 2007 — 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 55 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 49.5% above the 2007 sale price.
