It hasn't traded since August 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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 51.1% above the 2008 sale of £186,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. At 94 m² it sits well below the postcode median (145 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
