Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £417,000 is 43.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 40.5% below the postcode norm.
