Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 76.7% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 51.3% below the postcode norm.
