Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 sits 68.1% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
