Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 £144,000 sits 60% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 64.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (39 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
