Held since February 1998 — 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 £226,000 sits 193.5% above the 1998 sale of £77,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 60.5% below the postcode norm. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
