Held since April 1999 — that's 27 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 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £818,000 sits 248.1% above the 1999 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 54.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
