About Grassmoor

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Grassmoor is a detached house in Bobbington, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY7 5EF). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966.
