There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. At 52 m² this is the 6th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–160 m².

Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 43.3% below the 2007 sale of £222,095, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£397/sq ft) was about 108.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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 52 m² it's 27.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 29 EPCs).
