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 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 12.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 23.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
