Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 67.5% above the 2009 sale of £69,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 21.3% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
