Held since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 68.7% above the 2009 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 84.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
