Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 57 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 27.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm.
