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 £260,000 sits 271.7% above the 1997 sale of £69,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 64.2% below the postcode norm. At 108 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
