It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 102.9% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 16.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
