Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 51.1% above the 2008 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 37.2% below the postcode norm.
