Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 21.6% below the 2007 sale of £255,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
