Held since October 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £381,000 sits 204.8% above the 1999 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
