Held since June 2009 — that's 17 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 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 is 36.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
