Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 67.1% below the 2022 sale of £650,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,098/sq ft) was about 712.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold November 2022 for £650,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
