Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 34.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 is 38.8% above the 2008 sale price.
