It hasn't traded since February 1996, 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 £551,000 sits 540.7% above the 1996 sale of £86,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 79.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 134 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
