It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 164.3% above the 2008 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 110% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
