Held since November 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 £298,000 is 29.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 85 m² it's 17.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 16 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
