Held since January 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 £246,000 sits 64% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 76.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
