It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 290.5% above the 2000 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 63.1% below the postcode norm. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 54 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
