Held since October 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. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -10.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 56.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
