It hasn't traded since October 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 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (55 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 19.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 45.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
