Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 70% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 19% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
