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. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,057,000 sits 99.4% above the 2007 sale of £530,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 52.1% below the postcode norm.
