Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 13.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 245.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
