Held since May 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. At 40 m² the property is well over the postcode median (29 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 135.5% above the 2007 sale of £152,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£353/sq ft) was about 35.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
