Held since October 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 £231,000 sits 59.3% above the 2009 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 18.1% below the postcode norm. At 64 m² it's 24.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
