Held since February 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 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 is 24.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 25.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
