It hasn't traded since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 91.2% above the 2008 sale of £102,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 31.3% below the postcode norm.
