Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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 76 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 38 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
