Held since June 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 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 63 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 80% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
