Held since June 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. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 is 35.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 199.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
