It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 sits 76.7% above the 2009 sale of £283,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 35.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (147 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
