It hasn't traded since June 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 78 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £663,000 sits 439% above the 1997 sale of £123,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 20.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
