Held since August 1997 — that's 29 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 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £650,000 sits 400% above the 1997 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2012.
