It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 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 54 m² it's 16.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 75 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 19.6% above the 2007 sale price.
