Held since May 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 33.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
