Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 sits 60% above the 2009 sale of £112,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 15.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
