Held since April 2001 — that's 25 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 £405,000 sits 240.3% above the 2001 sale of £119,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 50.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 22 EPCs).
