It hasn't traded since December 1995, a hold of 30 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 £192,000 sits 386.1% above the 1995 sale of £39,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 65.9% below the postcode norm. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2018. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
