Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 28.4% below the 2005 sale of £249,950, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since December 2005 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
