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 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 93% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
