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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 57.5% above the 2009 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 116.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 69 m² it's 27.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
