It hasn't traded since November 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 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 60.4% above the 2007 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 26% below the postcode norm.
