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. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 10 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 £110,000 sits 69.2% above the 2008 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 39% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
