It hasn't traded since February 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 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 54 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 19.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
