It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 70.3% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 36.1% below the postcode norm. At 114 m² it's 24.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 10 EPCs).
