Held since December 2000 — 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 £263,000 sits 265.3% above the 2000 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 54.4% below the postcode norm. At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
