That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £796,000 sits 99% above the 2007 sale of £400,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
