It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sale prices here have lagged Newport HPI: -68.6% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 sits 417.5% above the 2008 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 69.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2005. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
