Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. 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 £121,000 sits 108.6% above the 2008 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (151 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
