Held since January 2001 — that's 25 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 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £609,000 sits 238.3% above the 2001 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 56.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.
