Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 10.7% below the 2021 sale of £280,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold December 2021 for £280,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
