Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 63.6% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 26% below the postcode norm.
