Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 46% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 34.2% below the postcode norm.
