Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 43.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 41.2% below the postcode norm.
