It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,856,000 sits 54.7% above the 2007 sale of £1,200,000. 21 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an annexe, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
