Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 96.9% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 41.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
