That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£281/sq ft) was about 22.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it's 16.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 54 EPCs).
