Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £731,000 is 40.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 60.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
