It hasn't traded since April 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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 74% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. At 71 m² it's 28.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 10 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2000.
