Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 sits 172.5% above the 2009 sale of £91,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.
