Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 57.1% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
