The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 70.1% above the 2000 sale of £89,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 24.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
