It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 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 £126,000 sits 101.6% above the 2008 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 38.6% below the postcode norm. At 65 m² it's 23.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 57 EPCs).
