About 1 Eight Acres

The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 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.
