Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 75.8% above the 2007 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 26.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
