Overview

About 1 Orchard Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Orchard Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Trowbridge, Trowbridge (BA14 9NT). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1429 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since April 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 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 sits 97.4% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm.
