Held since March 1999 — that's 27 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 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 271% above the 1999 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 65.7% below the postcode norm.
