It hasn't traded since November 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. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2004. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 28.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
