It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 124% above the 2008 sale of £75,000. At 59 m² it's 29.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 10 EPCs).
