Held since September 1995 — that's 31 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 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 387.4% above the 1995 sale of £23,800. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£17/sq ft) was about 74.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
