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 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 42.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
