At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–178 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 11.2% below the 2007 sale of £167,700, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 39.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 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 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode.
