Held since February 1996 — that's 30 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 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 243.3% above the 1996 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 66.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
