Orchard House, Vicarage Lane, Steeple Ashton, Trowbridge, BA14 6HH

Orchard House is a five-bedroom detached house in Steeple Ashton, Trowbridge, Trowbridge (BA14 6HH). It has a recorded floor area of 261 m² (around 2809 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 261 m² the property is well over the postcode median (179 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £859,000 sits 71.8% above the 2009 sale of £500,000. 14 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, tree works, partial demolition and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
