Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 sits 51.9% above the 2007 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 78.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it's 17.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 8 EPCs).
