Held since June 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 £312,000 sits 104.6% above the 2009 sale of £152,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
