Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 88.8% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 40.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
