Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 67.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
