About Old Smithy Cottage

Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 is 10.1% below the 2022 sale of £375,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£371/sq ft) was about 30.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023.
