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. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 69.6% above the 2008 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 43.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
