It hasn't traded since November 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 £121,000 sits 72.9% above the 2008 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 41% below the postcode norm. At 61 m² it's 27.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 24 EPCs).
