Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 37.2% below the 2021 sale of £221,500, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£438/sq ft) was about 61.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2021. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 47 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (39 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Sold March 2021 for £221,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
