It hasn't traded since May 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 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 sits 115.3% above the 2008 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 41.8% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include subdivision, HMO conversion, an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision.
