Held since February 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 £152,000 sits 108.2% above the 2009 sale of £73,000. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
