Farthingale is a four-bedroom detached house in Iverley, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY8 2RX). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
