Held since October 2000 — that's 26 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 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 sits 327.7% above the 2000 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 69.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
