Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£3,890/sq ft) was about 743.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (174 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 12 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused.
