Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 28.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£614/sq ft) was about 141.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
