It hasn't traded since March 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. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 sits 100.6% above the 2008 sale of £180,000. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2005.
