Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 is 75.4% below the 2022 sale of £800,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £800,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
