It hasn't traded since March 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 58 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 43.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 35.4% below the postcode norm.
