It hasn't traded since March 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. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,177/sq ft) was about 372% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
