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. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £931,000 is 21.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£407/sq ft) was about 31.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Orchard Close is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7PT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Orchard Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Orchard Close was lodged in September 2014 at band D and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Orchard Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 7PT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Orchard Close is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
