Held since July 1997 — that's 29 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 £286,000 sits 415.3% above the 1997 sale of £55,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 64% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs).
