It hasn't traded since November 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 66.4% above the 2007 sale of £131,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£393/sq ft) was about 49.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (38 m² median across 24 EPCs).
