Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it's 19.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 44 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 18.2% above the 2007 sale price.
