It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 is 29.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£483/sq ft) was about 135.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused.
