It hasn't traded since November 2008, 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 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 sits 109.5% above the 2008 sale of £97,872. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 45.5% below the postcode norm.
