Held since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 79.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£489/sq ft) was about 80.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
