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. Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 sits 78.1% above the 2007 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 51.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 86 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 26 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
