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. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 sits 126% above the 2008 sale of £150,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
