Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 66.2% below the 2022 sale of £500,002, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £500,002. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
