Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 33.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.
