Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £234,000 is 46.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 49.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 21.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 28 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
