It hasn't traded since March 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. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 38.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
