Held since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 295.7% above the 2000 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2004. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
