It hasn't traded since August 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. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 31.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£363/sq ft) was about 43.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
