Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 sits 56.5% above the 2016 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 48.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
