Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 sits 64.8% above the 2007 sale of £227,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 17% below the postcode norm.
