Held since August 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 £166,000 sits 388.2% above the 1999 sale of £34,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 64.6% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 20 EPCs).
