It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 59.3% above the 2007 sale of £140,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 23.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 13 EPCs).
