Held since October 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (162 m² median across 12 EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £515,000 is 32.1% above the 2007 sale price.
