Held since March 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 55.5% above the 2008 sale of £119,000. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
