Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 21.4% above the 2007 sale price.
