The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £429,000 sits 76.5% above the 2008 sale of £243,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm.
