Held since January 1999 — that's 28 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 £342,000 sits 388.6% above the 1999 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 62.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
