Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 98 m² it sits well below the postcode median (158 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2012. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm.
