Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £326,187. This is one data point to inform the valuation.

Homes in Sutton St James are now selling for between £2,190 and £2,810 per square metre (£203 and £261 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 87 m², this implies a valuation between £191,000 and £244,000. Treat this as context only.
