Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 116 m² it sits well below the postcode median (188 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,085,000 is 44.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£601/sq ft) was about 109.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
