Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 48.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm.
