Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 55.6% above the 2008 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 47.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
