Held since August 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 247 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (191 m² median across 5 EPCs).
