Held since October 1997 — that's 29 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 57.9% below the postcode norm.
