Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2013. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 25.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm.
