Held since August 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 40.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 68 m² it's 17.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 24 EPCs).
