Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in February 1995. 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 £456,000 sits 262.6% above the 1995 sale of £125,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 30% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
