Held since March 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. At 313 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £661,000 sits 190.5% above the 2007 sale of £227,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 82.7% below the postcode norm.
