Held since July 1995 — that's 31 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 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 248% above the 1995 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 74.9% below the postcode norm.
