Held since October 1999 — 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. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 190.8% above the 1999 sale of £81,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 31.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 67 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
