Held since February 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 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (442 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £540,000 is 25.6% above the 2009 sale price.
