Held since June 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 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 50.2% above the 2007 sale of £208,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 27.6% below the postcode norm.
