The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 293.8% above the 1998 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 38.5% below the postcode norm. At 43 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 32 EPCs).
