Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,660,000 sits 144.8% above the 2007 sale of £677,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 57.4% below the postcode norm.
