Held since June 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 23.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 46 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 40 EPCs).
