Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 236 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 86.9% above the 2008 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 55.3% below the postcode norm.
