It hasn't traded since June 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 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 53.7% above the 2007 sale of £199,800. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 24.1% below the postcode norm.
