14 Fairways Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2RW). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good.
