Held since January 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 historical planning record sits against the property in 2024. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year.
