It hasn't traded since April 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. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (26 m² across 63 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 37.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 35.5% below the postcode norm.
