Held since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £3,220,000 sits 78.9% above the 2007 sale of £1,800,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£641/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 261 m² it's 16.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (224 m² median across 15 EPCs).
