Held since May 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. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 383.8% above the 1996 sale of £52,499. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 62.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
