Held since February 2007 — that's 19 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. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 34.8% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
