Held since November 1997 — that's 29 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 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £686,000 sits 357.3% above the 1997 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
