It hasn't traded since March 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. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 42% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 18.1% above the 2007 sale price.
