24a is a three-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 1LA). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2023. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
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. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 59.5% above the 2008 sale of £182,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
