About 17 Orchard Way

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

17 Orchard Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
