It hasn't traded since September 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 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 33.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm.
