Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 79 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 16 EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
