Held since July 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. At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 sits 62.8% above the 2009 sale of £183,000.
