It hasn't traded since November 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 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 45.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 46.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
