Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 23.9% below the 2006 sale of £249,750, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. It hasn't traded since January 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 75 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 33 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
