Held since June 2001 — that's 25 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 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £537,000 sits 179% above the 2001 sale of £192,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
