Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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 £303,000 sits 73.1% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 31% below the postcode norm.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
