Held since August 2009 — that's 17 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 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £892,000 sits 93.9% above the 2009 sale of £460,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 17.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
