Held since April 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 £156,000 sits 55.9% above the 2007 sale of £100,050. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
