Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 106 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 28.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 27% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
