It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).
It hasn't traded since May 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. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 sits 96% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
The latest sale fell during the post-2008 dip, often a low-water mark in price comparisons.
