Held since November 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 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
