It hasn't traded since October 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 £104,000 sits 215.2% above the 1996 sale of £32,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 18% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
