Held since December 1998 — that's 27 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 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 445.9% above the 1998 sale of £98,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
