It hasn't traded since January 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. At 281 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £819,000 sits 155.9% above the 2007 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 68.8% below the postcode norm.
