Held since November 2009 — that's 16 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 235 m² it's 27% larger than the typical home in the postcode (185 m² median across 14 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £870,000 is 42.6% above the 2009 sale price.
