Held since November 1997 — that's 29 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 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 263% above the 1997 sale of £86,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 44.4% below the postcode norm.
