Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 22.1% below the 2002 sale of £249,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

It hasn't traded since November 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 49 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 20 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
