It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 54% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£392/sq ft) was about 27.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
