Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £241,000 sits 473.8% above the 1997 sale of £42,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 79% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
