Held since September 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 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 78.6% above the 2009 sale of £182,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 34.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
