It hasn't traded since October 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 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £491,000 sits 54.4% above the 2007 sale of £318,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£518/sq ft) was about 52.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 81 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
