It hasn't traded since July 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 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 65.6% above the 2008 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 42.5% below the postcode norm.
