It hasn't traded since July 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 24.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 91 m² it's 23.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 5 EPCs).
