It hasn't traded since March 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 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 121.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 is 28.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£394/sq ft) was about 96.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
