It hasn't traded since September 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 65.9% above the 2007 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 40.1% below the postcode norm.
