Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in June 1997. 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 £479,000 sits 299.2% above the 1997 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm.
