It hasn't traded since October 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 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 94.8% above the 2007 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 16.1% below the postcode norm.
