Held since October 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 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 sits 62.9% above the 2007 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 21.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2008. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
