It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 is 41.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£615/sq ft) was about 248% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
