It hasn't traded since August 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 £144,000 is 37.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 33.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 63 m² it's 29.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 26 EPCs).
