It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 34.8% above the 2009 sale price.
