Held since April 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 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 65.2% below the postcode norm.
