It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 sits 439.3% above the 1995 sale of £72,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
