It hasn't traded since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 70.7% above the 2008 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 46% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 37 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
