It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 54 m² it's 17.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 38.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 52.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
