Held since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 sits 144.6% above the 2009 sale of £202,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 53% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
