Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. 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 £537,000 sits 95.3% above the 2008 sale of £275,000. At 78 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 7 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
