It hasn't traded since August 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 £101,000 sits 68.3% above the 2007 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 31.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
