Gothersley Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY7 5AX). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £937,000 is 46.4% above the 2008 sale price. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
