Held since April 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 £246,000 sits 59.7% above the 2007 sale of £154,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 80.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
