Held since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 400% above the 1997 sale of £57,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 72.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 21.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 10 EPCs).
