Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 50% above the 2008 sale of £102,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm. At 120 m² it's 17.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
