Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 37.2% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 43.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 44.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 67 m² it's 15.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
