It hasn't traded since April 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 44.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 21.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
