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 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 is 41.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 36.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
