Held since September 1996 — that's 30 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 £489,000 sits 291.2% above the 1996 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 41.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
