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 £563,000 sits 288.3% above the 1999 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 53.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007.
