Held since March 2000 — that's 26 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 £298,000 sits 56.8% above the 2000 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£465/sq ft) was about 368.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2000. Past consents include partial demolition, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
