It hasn't traded since July 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. At 77 m² it's 19.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 sits 65.4% above the 2007 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 42.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
