Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 69 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 is 44.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 61% below the postcode norm.
