Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2011. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 is 48.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 65.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
