1 Castle Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1020 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 100.6% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm.
