Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 is 86.8% below the 2021 sale of £900,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 42 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold August 2021 for £900,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
