Held since September 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 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 33.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 87.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
