About 3 Orchard Way
3 Orchard Way is a detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 275.9% above the 1999 sale of £112,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2016.
