Held since September 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £868,000 sits 189.3% above the 2007 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 44.4% below the postcode norm. 11 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
