It hasn't traded since October 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. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 126.8% above the 2007 sale of £48,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 225.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 22 m² it sits well below the postcode median (33 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
