Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 205 m² the property is well over the postcode median (157 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £883,000 sits 138.6% above the 2009 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 44.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
