It hasn't traded since September 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 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 34.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 24.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
