Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £878,000 sits 241% above the 2000 sale of £257,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
