It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (61 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 is 24.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 56.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
