Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 57.2% above the 2007 sale of £138,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 45.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
