Held since December 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 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 73.1% above the 2009 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 84.3% 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.
