Held since September 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. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 370.5% above the 1997 sale of £112,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 54.9% below the postcode norm. At 122 m² it sits well below the postcode median (224 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
