Held since July 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 £325,000 sits 54.8% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
