Held since January 2001 — that's 25 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 £496,000 sits 52.6% above the 2001 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£581/sq ft) was about 246.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
