Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 64 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2019. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 42.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 27.4% below the postcode norm.
