Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 47% below the 2022 sale of £415,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£989/sq ft) was about 328.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2022. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £415,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
