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. Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 sits 55.7% above the 2007 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£719/sq ft) was about 179.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (61 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
