Held since August 2008 — 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. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 is 40.6% above the 2008 sale price.
