Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 22.8% below the 2007 sale of £193,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
