Held since July 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 £337,000 is 49.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 58.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 88 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 11 EPCs).
