It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £851,000 sits 409.6% above the 1996 sale of £167,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 66.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
