9 Chaucer Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 4PL). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 53), 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 December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 107 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 65.6% above the 2015 sale of £177,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 73.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
