Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £98,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 121% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
