Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in December 1999. 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 £297,000 sits 116.8% above the 1999 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 19.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (203 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
