It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £709,000 sits 82.3% above the 2009 sale of £389,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
