It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £549,000 sits 186% above the 2009 sale of £191,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 48.8% below the postcode norm.
