It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 87.9% above the 2007 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,131/sq ft) was about 325.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 9 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
