Held since June 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. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 447.4% above the 1998 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 81.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
