Held since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 67.5% above the 2009 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
