It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
