We measure a distance of 2.23 ± 0.05 Mpc using the Tip of Red Giant Branch method. We also detect Ha emission from this gas-poor dwarf transition galaxy at the velocity Vh = 92 ± 5 or VLG = 150 km s-1.With this distance and velocity, KK258 lies near the local Hubble flow locus with a peculiar velocity ∼3 km s-1. We discuss the star formation history of KK258 derived from its colour-magnitude diagram. The specific star formation rate is estimated to be log[sSFR] = -2.64 and -2.84 (Gyr-1) from the FUV-flux and Ha-flux, respectively. KK258 has the absolute magnitude MB = -10.3 mag, the average surface brightness of 26.0 mag arcsec-2 and the hydrogen mass log(MHI) < 5.75M⊙.We compare KK258 with 29 other dTr- galaxies situated within 5 Mpc from us, and conclude that its properties are typical for transition dwarfs. However, KK258 resides 0.8 Mpc away from its significant neighbour, the Sdm galaxy NGC 55, and such a spatial isolation is unusual for the local transition dwarfs. © 2014 The Authors.
