Held since September 2000 — that's 26 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 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 150.6% above the 2000 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 62.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
