It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 92.5% above the 2008 sale of £212,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 25% below the postcode norm.
