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 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2012. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 is 37.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm.
