It hasn't traded since February 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 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 52.5% above the 2008 sale of £139,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
