It hasn't traded since December 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. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 is 48.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 29% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
