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. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 146.7% above the 2001 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 61.9% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2002. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
