Held since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 sits 242.9% above the 2007 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 63.8% below the postcode norm. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
