It hasn't traded since February 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 £140,000 sits 273.3% above the 2008 sale of £37,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 62.6% below the postcode norm. At 47 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (39 m² median across 52 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
