Held since December 2008 — that's 18 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 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £829,000 sits 69.2% above the 2008 sale of £490,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 24.7% below the postcode norm.
