14 Castle Grove is a semi-detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 952 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 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 £313,000 sits 73.9% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 88 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 31 EPCs).
