The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2018. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 49.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
