Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 21 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 21.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 30.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2011.
