It hasn't traded since December 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 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 68 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 53.9% above the 2007 sale of £244,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm.
