Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 16.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 33.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 22.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
