It hasn't traded since August 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 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 76.4% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
