Overview

About 4 Orchard Close

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

4 Orchard Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Harston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7PT). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
