At 34 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–478 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 36 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
