Held since December 1996 — that's 30 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 £166,000 sits 277.3% above the 1996 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 68.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
