Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 81.2% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
