Held since February 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.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.6% per year.
