Covert Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Iverley, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY8 2RX). It has a recorded floor area of 244 m² (around 2626 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 244 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £802,000 is 33.7% above the 2016 sale price.
