Held since April 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. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year.
