Held since January 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 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 39.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 34.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2012.
