Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £548,000 sits 133.2% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 41% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include subdivision, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
