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 £132,000 sits 363.2% above the 1996 sale of £28,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 55.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017.
