Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 69.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
