Held since May 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 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 is 29.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 59.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
