Held since October 1996 — that's 30 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. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm.
