Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 67.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 47 m² it's 24.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 29 EPCs).
