It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 sits 80% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 29.5% below the postcode norm. At 91 m² it's 15.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 5 EPCs).
