It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 129.6% above the 2009 sale of £98,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 45.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
