Overview

About 12 Orchard Terrace

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

12 Orchard Terrace is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whittlesford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2026 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since December 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. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 58.3% above the 2009 sale of £174,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 21.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 19 EPCs).
