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 238 m² the property is well over the postcode median (172 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,325,000 sits 80.9% above the 2007 sale of £732,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 41.5% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition, a loft conversion and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
