Held since January 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 £444,000 sits 101.8% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm. At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (173 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
