Held since March 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 160 m² it sits well below the postcode median (256 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,036,000 is 44.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 34.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
