It hasn't traded since November 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 96.7% above the 2007 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 22.5% below the postcode norm. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
