Held since April 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 sits 91% above the 2008 sale of £283,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£879/sq ft) was about 200.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
