4 High Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wollaston, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY8 4NH). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 175.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
