Held since October 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 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 is 25% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£465/sq ft) was about 109.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
