It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 80 m² it's 27.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 12 EPCs).
