It hasn't traded since August 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 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £491,000 sits 127.1% above the 2007 sale of £216,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 52.4% below the postcode norm.
