It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £491,000 sits 1547.8% above the 1998 sale of £29,797. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 93.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (188 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
