Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 54.7% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 18.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
