Held since September 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. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 56.8% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 21.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
