Held since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 53.7% above the 2008 sale of £157,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 69 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
