Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 is 39.1% below the 2022 sale of £425,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 102.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold September 2022 for £425,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
