It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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 99 m² it's 25.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 is 16.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 50.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
