It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 231 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £646,000 sits 70% above the 2008 sale of £380,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 29.1% below the postcode norm.
