Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 63 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 is 21.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 20% below the postcode norm.
