Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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 £364,000 sits 82% above the 2007 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm. At 112 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (136 m² median across 29 EPCs).
