The estimate for 1 Watery Lane is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 5BX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
