Held since February 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. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (160 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 31.2% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
