It hasn't traded since February 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. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 37.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 49.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
