It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 is 34.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 18.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
