Held since April 2009 — that's 17 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. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 is 30.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
