It hasn't traded since May 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. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 56 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £503,000 sits 145.4% above the 2008 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 56.5% below the postcode norm.
