Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 24 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 £345,000 is 20.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
