Held since June 1996 — that's 30 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 297 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £675,000 sits 382.1% above the 1996 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 78.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2013. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
