Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 sits 59.7% above the 2007 sale of £72,000. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
