Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (162 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 sits 94.4% above the 2007 sale of £142,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 43.9% below the postcode norm.
