It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 60% above the 2007 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 76.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
