It hasn't traded since June 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 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 111.7% above the 2009 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 24.3% below the postcode norm. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
