It hasn't traded since December 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 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2007. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 23.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 24.9% below the postcode norm.
