Held since June 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 £386,000 sits 280.3% above the 1996 sale of £101,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 54% below the postcode norm. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2017.
