It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 45.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 42.1% below the postcode norm.
